Comprehensive Care for Hip and Back Symptoms
Physical Therapy for Sciatica, Hip Pain, and Back Pain
Your posture adjusts constantly as you move and change position with gravity. This process activates your muscles, joints, and nervous system to keep you upright, balanced, and comfortable.
When muscles and joints become stiff, your ability to adapt is limited. Over time, reduced mobility can contribute to hip tightness and pain, lower back pain while sitting, or even burning in the lower back.
Tight hips, weak or inhibited gluteal muscles, and decreased abdominal coordination often lead to compensations elsewhere. Your pelvic floor muscles may work harder to maintain balance, especially if you are dealing with sciatica pain, hip flexor pain, or chronic sore hip flexors. A stiff back can further reduce abdominal support, increasing strain through the pelvis and spine.
We love being pelvic floor experts—and we can support your headaches, hip pain, back pain, and sciatica, too.
Hip Pain, Sciatica, and Greater Trochanter Pain
Hip symptoms such as greater trochanter pain, bursitis of the trochanter, or aching hip flexors often overlap with low back pain, pain when sitting down, or radiating sciatica pain. These patterns may involve the hip flexors, gluteal muscles, lumbar spine, and pelvic floor working together—or compensating for one another.
We commonly support people experiencing:
Hip flexor tendonitis and psoas major pain
Chronic tight hip flexors or persistent hip tightness
Pain relief for hip pain that has not responded to rest alone
Lower back pain while sitting or a sore, fatigued back
Sciatica pain with or without leg symptoms
How We Treat
-
Skilled Touch Therapy & Visceral Fascial Mobilization
Do you wonder if breathing could feel easier? Does your “core” feel weak or unreliable? If you have hip pain, back hurting, or sciatica, your organ fascia may be restricted from prior surgeries, pregnancy, inflammation, or stress.
Stiff muscles, restricted myofascia, and a pelvic floor that is too tense can make it difficult for your nervous system to trust a deep breath. Skilled touch therapy, including visceral fascial mobilization, supports mobility, circulation, and nervous system regulation—often reducing burning back pain, pain when sitting, and tension patterns throughout the body.
-
Pleasurable Exercise
Do you want to strengthen your “core” without aggravating symptoms? Do you worry that posture or movement habits are contributing to your pain? Have general or traditional exercises left you feeling worse?
We offer physical therapy exercises for sciatica, hip pain, and back pain that are individualized and enjoyable. Your exercise program is designed specifically for your body and your life—supporting hip flexor treatment, glute strength, spinal mobility, and ease of movement without forcing or gripping.
Your therapist will help you:
Improve coordination of your hips, spine, and pelvic floor
Reduce hip flexor pain and sore hip flexors
Build strength without increasing lower back pain or sciatica
Move with more confidence and less tension
-
Somatic Approach to Hip, Back, and Headache Pain
Pain is a complex experience influenced by your nervous system, immune responses, hormones, joints, fascia, and brain. A somatic approach is guided by a compassionate witness, allowing you to reconnect with sensation, movement, and safety.
This approach may be especially supportive if you experience:
Stress headaches or tension headache relief needs
Neck pain and headache, including pain at the back of the head
A highly sensitive nervous system or trauma history
Persistent muscle tension that does not resolve with exercise alone
Through sensing, feeling, and movement, you may gradually develop new patterns that reduce pain and restore trust in your body.
